Paul is a geologist by training and has spent most of his professional career in the energy industry. Since retiring, Paul decided to follow his interest in history, architecture and art by becoming a tour guide and is now a qualified City of London Green Badge Guide and a City of Westminster Green Badge Guide.
London is one of the oldest and most fascinating cities in the world and has witnessed crucially important events throughout its two thousand year history. It has also been one of the wealthiest cities in Europe, attracting enquiring and creative minds including scientists, artists and social reformers. On his guided walks, Paul will introduce you to some of these characters who have shaped our remarkable capital city. Even if you know London well, be prepared to learn some little-known facts, discover hidden gems and be gently amused by your expert guide.

“Thank you, Dr Paul, for guiding us on the Architecture Tour yesterday. You were very informative and knowledgeable and the tour was very interesting indeed. Also thanks for recommending we return to St Stephen Walbrook which we did. It was just as beautiful as you had described. It was a great weekend.Kevin

“Thank you so much for the most excellent morning in the City. We learned a great deal about many things in a very diverting way, as well as seeing some very fine churches. Also appreciated your delivery, which is not too serious, and the fact that you were so aware of the needs of the group.” Janet
